## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 10/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-03T02:20:16.233290+00:00)
- activity 0, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 3027, "days_push": 1765, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases, archived
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
A deprecated NVIDIA repository containing Go bindings for NVML and DCGM plus the DCGM-Exporter for exposing GPU metrics to Prometheus in Kubernetes. It was archived in 2021, with components split into go-nvml, go-dcgm, and dcgm-exporter repositories.

## Use cases
- monitor nvidia gpu metrics in kubernetes
- export gpu telemetry to prometheus
- go bindings for nvml
- track gpu temperature and clock speeds
- gpu health monitoring in data center clusters

## When to choose
- you need historical reference for the original bindings
- you want a single overview of the NVIDIA GPU monitoring ecosystem

## When to avoid
- you need maintained NVML Go bindings - use NVIDIA/go-nvml
- you need DCGM Go bindings - use NVIDIA/go-dcgm
- you want the Prometheus GPU exporter - use NVIDIA/dcgm-exporter
- starting a new project, since the repo is archived and readonly

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: monitoring, sdk
- domain: monitoring, gpu-computing
- platform: go
- tags: nvidia, nvml, dcgm, prometheus-exporter, gpu-telemetry, deprecated, devops, containers, linux, docker, kubernetes
